I'm currently trying to follow a Bob Ross painting video (yes, I am that bad, but he makes it so much easier) and he lists the colors he uses at the start of the video. I have all of the hex codes for that supposed "exact" color in terms of digital art, but I can't find where to enter it in photoshop. Could anybody give me a hand? Thanks!

If you want exact, hex color is subject to the same requirements for proper color management. A given hex number is undefined until you assign a color space to that number. Only then does it refer to a specific color.

All for all, I bet that you cant give me a format for exchanging exact colours as compact and universally understood as hex codes. If I tell someone that something has a colour of #4b25c3 then it is quite commonly understood. Probably much to your dismay, the hex code will live on.

You misunderstand. It's not that hex isn't used; it's that it's undefined. Hex came into use before modern color management, as a convenient way to refer to screen colors. That was all one could do back then.

The problem is that hex still carries the expectation that it refers to a certain, specific color. That's how it has historically been used, and that's how people still use it. But it doesn't! It was just the best they had back then. That's why it's outdated. Color management uses RGB notation.

I wrote in #2 that it is a "safe assumption" that hex numbers refer to sRGB. Actually that's not right. It's a much safer assumption that hex is used without any color management at all. So it doesn't refer to sRGB; it refers to monitor color.

Take hex # e40903. Without specifying a color space you might as well say 'reddish'. It is no more accurate than quoting RGB 228,09,03 which is the same number just in decimal notation and equally meaningless without the color space context.

It would be a bit like going into an art store and asking for tube number 233 without specifying which manufacturer and range of paint you want tube number 233 from. You will get a colour but not necessarily the same colour as I would get doing the same in my local store who sell a different range.

This is helpful. I would note, however, that when programming CSS code and specifying color, Hex code still must be used and is used thus if you are designing a composition or scheme for what ultimately will be part of a web site (as in an HTML 'page' controlled re styles by CSS), specifying color via Hex code still would be a better way to go than simply using RGB sliders. It is for this reason that both as a professor and a teacher in K12 classrooms that when I teach digital image making and manipulating of all varieties (from painting to drawing to graphic design to simply 'coding' to motion graphics), I still require students utilize Hex code or at least fully understand enough such that they are equipped to choose whether or not to use it in compositing and just plain creating cool stuff.

It is not the use of a Hex code that is bad, it is just three numbers after all, and a very quick way of expressing those three numbers. What is wrong is the expectation that a Hex code refers to a specific colour. It does not. Any numeric representation of a colour be it in base 2, base 10 , base 16 or base 123 will only refer to a specific colour when used in the context of a specific colour space.

So no problem with use of Hex codes as such, I programmed in hexadecimal using "machine code" instructions many years ago, it's just when they are misrepresented as being more accurate than any other number that I frown

In addition to being at the bottom of the Color Picker, you can use the Color panel and set the sliders to Web Color Sliders to get Hexadecimal. Note that you can then copy the code from the menu and paste it into your web application.

So I was confused for the longest time I was in 32-bit and there was no hex code I since changed to 8-bit and it has magically appeared but now I don't know why that is. to my understanding 8-bit is a lower quality but that all I know.

Incidentally both are meaningless unless expressed in the context of a particular colour space. So the same numbers in decimal or hex, represent different colours in sRGB, Adobe RGB, Prophoto. I add this only because many people think that a Hex code is less ambiguous that a set of RGB decimal values. They are equally accurate or inaccurate depending on whether the color space is given.

To the other part of your question. 8 bit and 16 bit integers represent the same range of values but 16 bit divides that range into smaller increments. However 32 bit floating point numbers are very different. They represent an extended dynamic range and have the capability to express darker values than can be represented by 8 bit 0, and lighter values than can be represented by 8 bit 255 (or FF in hexadecimal). As such, hex codes have no place in 32 bit/channel.

Interesting conversation. I for one have never heard anyone in his right mind use HEX code to describe anything but sRGB colours.
HEX codes are used for screen colour only. For physical media, LAB is used to describe a colour in technical terms, - so it can be reproduced correctly.
If you replace a HEX code with a generic RGB value however, you ARE in trouble, since in this case, - if this is for instance used in a brand manual to describe the colour of a brand, the RGB value could just as well be picked up by the designer when he or she is working in Adobe RGB mode preparing a job for print - and trust me, I have seen this in lofty brand manuals created by big advertising agencies who should know what they are doing.
A single RGB value is about as useful as presenting a print colour with a single CMYK value, without referring to a print standard - say Fogra 39 or Gracol xxx (if you are American).

There is nothing specifically wrong with using hexadecimal or decimal numbers for RGB values. The problem comes when the colour space is assumed and not specified. If you are lucky an assumption of sRGB for hex values is correct, if you are unlucky then the colour is wrong.

Help, I was trying to install munold photoshop 7.0.1, but I cannkt find the activation code. I know these wouldnt normally be given out, but I was wondering since its such an old version if its possible to get one.

Given PS7's advanced age and lack of features, this might be a good opportunity to scrap it for better software. Even if you do find a serial number for your 2 decades old product, there's no guarantee it will run right on a modern machine and OS. And there's absolutely zero chance it will run much less install on a recent Mac.

Good point, Nancy. PS7 and earlier was not designed for 1TB+ drives in Windows. Forget Macs. PS7 was the old Motorola G series Power PC CPUs, and I think on Intel Macs, the Rosetta emulator was needed.

I just purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements yesterday directly from Adobe and installed it. I'm running a Macbook Air (2018 model) with 16GB RAM and approx 200GB free SSD hard drive space. It's running Mac OSX 10.15.2. When I try to launch Photoshop Elements, I get a screen telling me Adobe Sign-in required. I'll enter my Adobe username and password, a green check will appear next to the password which I assumes is telling me my credentials have been verified and instead of launching, it just goes back to the sign-in required screen. I've tried everything I can think of including changing my Adobe password and verifying that it works in the Adobe website, creating a new Adobe account in the sign-in screen to launch Photoshop Elements, linking my account to my Google account and trying to sign in that way. Rebooting my computer, and un-installing PSE and re-installing it. I found this article for an older version of PSE ( -elements/kb/unable-to-sign-in-photoshop-elements-12-13.html) and tried all the steps, but none of those helped either.

I tried to do a support chat with Adobe yesterday; I initially chatted with an agent, but she said it needed to be referred to a different agent and put me back in the queu; I gave up after waiting in the queue for over 2 hours. I tried to find a phone number to call someone at Adobe (since PSE 2020 is supposed to be supported under phone care), but I can't find the numebr to call. I'm hoping someone here can provide a solution.

I tried Adobe Support again this morning had a much better experience. The support rep (Brian) was great and was able to get the issue fully resolved for me. Not sure what caused the problem, but if anyone else experiences the same issue the work around was to re-download the trial version of Adobe PSE 2020 that allows you to activate with serial number instead of signing in ( -install/kb/photoshop-elements-downloads.html). Once it was downloaded and installed, ins

4. I entered the password for my Adobe account. What I couldn't get a screenshot of here was after entering the password and pressing the Continue button, a green check mark showed up next to the password which I would think means my credentials have been verified.

Between yesterday and today, I've tried every option there is available on those screens accept continuing with Facebook . I've tried creating a new account, I've tried linking my original account with Google, I've tried resetting my password, and I've tried Signing in as a different user. None of it makes a difference; I am stuck in this activation sign-in loop.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried the chat with Adobe support yesterday. Selected that I needed help with activation. Explained what was going on to the rep. She said she couldn't help me with that nad needed to connect me to technical support. I waited in the chat queu for about 2 hours before I had to give up. I'd love a phone number to try to call someone at Adobe.
